Now that some optimism has at last crept in, I'd like to mention that in many transits through CdG I have never had a lost/delayed baggage incident.
A real pita is the bussing between Terminal 2 and Terminal G especially when your arrival terminal is 2 and the aircraft parks at G, your departure terminal is G so you have to suffer the bus ride back from 2 to G where you deplaned originally. AF never use 2 busses when the sardines can squeeze into one.
